Category:Angura-Kei

Angura is a shortform form of the english word 'underground'. It was a cultural movement in Japan which dated back to the 1960's and had a great expression in independent theatre. This movement has influenced many manga artists who tried to find a unique identity for their own cultures. It is also linked with the ero guro movement, though the main difference is that angura is darker and more formal. The use of Japanese uniform, kimono, or other traditional garb is very common in angura-kei bands.
